Development of computational tools for industrial combustion

随着欧洲和美国部分地区的趋势，预计加拿大将对用于运输和发电的空气污染物排放实施越来越严格的监管。不断上涨的油价进一步加速了对替代能源效率和低排放发电系统的寻找。尽管可再生能源对交通和发电都变得越来越重要，但在可预见的未来，这些部门将依赖大规模燃烧。因此，必须开发新的燃烧装置，能够使用不同的燃料(包括混合燃料)，保持最佳的运行条件，并最大限度地减少空气中的污染物，如氮氧化物(NOx)和烟尘。

Increasingly stringent regulations on airborne pollutant emissions for transportation and power generation are expected in Canada following the trends in Europe and some parts of the United States. Rising oil prices have further accelerated the search for alternative fuel-efficient and low-emission power generation systems. Although renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important for both transportation and power generation, these sectors will rely on large-scale combustion for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, novel combustion devices must be developed that can run on different fuels (including blended fuels), maintain optimal operating conditions and minimize airborne pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot.
